most of champion 1 clubs will feel the loss next year as leigh are one of best supported clubs away from home and i dont think followers of the toulouse and batley will bring the same sort of support

Would like to know their reasoning behind that Alan,only one i can think of is to hinder the championship clubs

i mean you would think that the champ clubs could afford 2 overseas more than champ 1 ,its very odd to say the least.

Odd but thats the rules.

Its to make sure that Gateshead and Toulouse get as much help as they can to get a licence and the last team will be the team who have managed to survive the best

Reasoning? RFL? I haven't a clue, but perhaps it goes something like this:-

Championship clubs (or Championship 1, as per the RFL) - To protect them from over-spending.

Championship 1 (or Championship 2, as per the RFL) - To allow them more scope to attract players, as there aren't enough British ones to go round. Hopefully, they'll be able to attract 'cheap' imports - who, of course, won't qualify for a visa, thereby saving the Championship 1 clubs (or Championship 2, according to the RFL) from over-spending.

Then, of course, there are the Championship and Championship 1 clubs (or Championship 1 and 2, according to the RFL) who can have limitless overseas' players, because they have pots of money, no access to 'local' talent, and don't seem to need the same visas as anyone else.

Apologies for the jaundiced view, and I hope that clarifies things for you?

Yep i would imagine thats how it would go ,cretins !!!!!!!but i'm not bitter
